Did I miss something? Is it rumored that one private person is offering $10 million? Did you ever think that maybe they figured it was worth the investment in keeping Obama out of the white house, screw any favors?

No that hasn't been rumored, and as I said, I'm not outraged by this or anything.
I was making a larger point about very large anonymous donations. The potential for corruption is too great.
If people who gave these ridiculously large sums of money were forced to do so publicly, then it would be almost impossible for the President to "repay the favor" so to speak, because any legislation or regulation which benefited the parties who made the large donations would be heavily scrutinized by the media.
In this case, (and in most cases) sunlight is the best disinfectant.
